As a person who was once labled a criminal who was put into a rehabilitation program for criminals ( ended up stuck in the program for like 4 years) they put the focus on cognitive thinking distortions or also called sabotaged patterns of thinking

How’d it work ? Did you find any of the programs helpful? @morrgin

@Graylight yes it was helpful. It helped me be more of a relaxed person and not looking for an excuse for everything. I learned how to communicate with others in a more positive way.
The best thing i got from it was they cured my boredom. I never get bored. They did this by making me sit in a circle with others and for 3 hours I had to listen to them take turns telling me what my thoughts are when I'm bored and how it impacts everything and everyone around me. I had to write every word they said down. As a result I no longer get bored.

@morrgin That’s really great. Sometimes it’s the low points that lead to the higher summits. Thanks for sharing your experience.

No, it's safe to say that the majority of criminals have no serious conditions. Being impulsive, selfish, and lacking self-control are flaws, not diseases.

@Graylight In certain cases, but by themselves they are merely personality flaws.
Graylight · 51-55, F
Not at all. But when assessing, they have to be considered.

Fact is, most people in the US are in prison for bad judgment and stupid mistakes. @mariannezap

@Graylight No argument there. Bad judgment is the cause of most problems in life, criminal or not.

No, most don’t. ASPD is an exceedingly rare condition and the majority of those in prison are there for simple crimes like drugs, property felonies, etc.
